That was funny. FYI, was he was actually seeing at the end of his commentary was the start of one the closest and tightest classes of Olympic sailing (Lasers)---two ways to play that start---either bunch up at the point closest to the committee boat (and have the much vaunted windward advantage for the first leg of the trial) or give up on trying to get that and find clear air anywhere on the start line and try to get clear of the pack by out accelerating them in the undisturbed air before cutting back.

Sailors in this class burn between 3000 and 6000 calories a day; they blow out their backs; their training can include regimens as extreme as 400 crunchies and 200 push ups between morning and afternoon training sessions.

But yah; if you're not into, it can be boring ! LOL
